Sabouru is probably one of the most famous coffee shops in Jimbocho. It’s usually so crowded that getting in is difficult, but on this day, when I went out for a late lunch, there was no line—so I decided to try Sabouru2 instead.
At Saboru you can just have drinks, but at Saboru 2 you’re expected to order food. It’s especially known for its mega-sized Napolitan.
That said, I didn’t go for the Napolitan this time—I ordered the beef curry, mainly because I’d had pasta the day before. As it turned out, the curry was just as massive. It’s hard to tell from the photo, but the sauce was packed with large chunks of beef.
I somehow managed to finish it, but the food coma hit me hard afterward—I could barely get any work done in the afternoon (laughs).
More than 90% of the customers were ordering the Napolitan. Next time, I think I’ll go with that.
